Humans Are Insane

Hello, ponies, Seismic Riff here. Even though it's kind of sad to only have four followers, it actually helps me a lot because that means there are less people to disappoint when a story doesn't come up immediately. I've been digging around, and I've got a pretty good idea of what that graffiti meant. I explored some more alleyways, more of what humans would call the ghetto area. Funny thing, little group of fillies just graduating from cutie mark kidnergarten where walking around like they owned the place. One of them actually walked up to me and demanded "tribute." It was cute, so I gave the kid the candy I was planning on eating. He threw that delicious chocolate nougat bar to the ground and said "You pay bits or in joke!" You have got to be kidding me, there are little fillies barely over 10 wanting jokeweed!? At that point I just extended my wings and the knives dripping with styxian ink. One drop actually splashed on a filly's leather hoofband and melted a nice hole through it. Even Rainbow Dash couldn't book it faster than these kids did.
Anyway, the main point of this blog is my human. He actually snapped today, his special somepony and sister were pretty much in tears. Apparently his mum upset him, and vice versa, and after taking so much he was going to walk from Redlands to his hometown through this canyon. Bear foot. If my hooves were as sensitive as the bottom of a human's foot, I would have just stuck to yelling at my mother and winning my case. Actually I can fly, so the real problem is that humans don't have wings. Anyway, thing is he wasn't bluffing. Not a bit in his pocket, no weapons, no shoes, clothes on his back only. If it weren't for his special somepony I'd bet my wings he'd be crawling on his knees right now towards "home." I probably would have done the same thing if I was in that situation though. I should just count myself lucky I'm a colt in Equestria who can get by with music. The human world is just crazy.
Anyway, fun fact for the day. When a pegasus says he'd bet his wings, anyone can take him up on the challenge and if they win, that pegasus can't fly for a complete day. Back before the founding of Equestria, if you bet your wings and you lost, a primal feather would be plucked from each wing, actually stopping you from flying as well as you did. And it turns out if I bet my wings and I lost, that pony would be walking away with about five million bit's worth of steamwing technology. My question is if I'm so dirt poor, how did I afford these wings?
